Hi Garth. It is a Nitto FacePlater stem & consistently measures 22.2. I’ve not yet measured the inside diameter of the head tube.

It appears the diameter of the stem is out of spec as all I see of movement in the video is the stem itself wiggling inside the steering tube. Do measure the diameters of the outer stem and inside the steerer, and in multiple places around the circles. Something is out of spec as that's a whole lotta wiggle, not good. Is that the Nitto or the JIm Faceplater ? If you don't have a caliper for measuring do you at least have a another stem to insert ? If not, contact Riv. Frankly that ought to have been the first place to go. On Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 3:07:36 PM UTC-4 rmro...@gmail.com wrote:
Greetings folks. I would appreciate any input regarding this. Since new I have had some movement in my headset / stem that concerns me, possibly unnecessarily so? Please review the attached video link and tell me what you see. I felt the headset was a bit loose so tightened it a bit. This made no difference. The minimum insertion line for the Faceplater stem is a full two centimeters below the headset lock nut. So, the question seems to be is this stem quill movement excessive & if so how to eliminate it. I do mind the inherent flex. It no doubt contributes to the comfort of the bike? I just want to be certain it is safe and causing no harm.I appreciate your help. Richard
